Lindsey, we have been following a family in Texas. We have given them pseudonyms to protect their identity. Texas, of course, bans gender-affirming care for minors. So they have had to go to New Mexico to get hormone therapy for their 14-year-old trans daughter, Leah.

After the court ruled, we spoke to Mary, Leah’s mother. Listen to what she had to say.

Mary, Mother of Leah: This just kind of gives states the green light to continue to ban this gender-affirming care. We’re lucky that we’re able to access this care in New Mexico right now, but I don’t know what that’s going to mean in the future. I don’t know if the current sanctuary states are going to hold up what they’re doing or not.

The first thought is just look for another sanctuary city, but, I mean, if everybody starts following suit, then we’re just stuck. I mean, I don’t know what that would mean for us. Every time we go, we get another six months of meds and just kind of hold on to that and hope that that’s enough.
